About meI'm a Christian (and I don't use that term lightly), a Librarian, a Freelance Writer, a Canadian-living-in-the-U.S., and a mother of three wonderful teens/adults. One could probably say I am obsessed with books, well-written ones that make me think and grow--or laugh.

About my libraryNot all listed yet, but lots of classics, lots of Christianity and Theology. You will not find anything close to a Harlequin Romance here. Life is too short to waste it reading pointless poppycock!:>

tpfleg,
I am glad you enjoyed the library. Your question has made me think. At first little came to mind but I thought about the Reformed way of thinking: creation - fall - redemption which is used by many Reformed thinkers as they review movies, etc. Some older Christian writers such as Flannery O'Connor, Walker Percy and G. K. Chesterton do have some good things but more from a Catholic perspective.
Often the Christian titles we find in the Christian bookstores are not of as high of quality. I did go to South Carolina Book Festival and there were a group of Christian writers there who I think are trying though I don't know if any of them are Reformed: Beth Webb Hart and Charles Martin were there. I have read 2 of Hart's.
From a Reformed perspective I have read and enjoy Stephen Lawhead's works. For children The Spirit Flyer series by John Bibee is wonderful and published by IVP. Also John White wrote a great fantasy series also from InterVarsity. Also check out Calvin Miller.
I did like the historical fiction series Wakefield Dynasty by Gilbert Morris and Jack Cavanaugh's The Book of Books (though I am not sure he finished these)
Douglas Bond is a PCA elder and written several children's chapter books. His artist for most of them is Matthew Bird also a PCA fellow who I taught in third grade!!
Thanks for making me think and I hope this helps.
